Ep. 107 Gary Germany & His Book: Domestic Violence - The Fight of Your Life, and ICYMI

Tressa sits down for a powerful conversation with singer-songwriter and clergyman Gary Germany, who experienced domestic violence situations as a child and struggled with impulses to hurt others when he became an adult. It was only after Gary made the decision to look deep into his past to understand his behaviors and take responsibility for them that he began to change his life. And he has written a book to help others overcome the pattern of generational domestic violence. His book, Domestic Violence: The Fight Of Your Life, is available at Amazon: https://a.co/d/7A4YNea Be The Match For Jax: Facebook & Instagram: Be The Match For Jax To join the registry for Be The Match For Jax, text “jaxramirezpa” to 61474 https://www.yinzaregood.com/ Instagram: @yinzaregood Facebook: @YinzAreGood Have a story of GENEROSITY or KINDNESS to share with us?
